It turns out that the linker warnings on 64-bit powerpc about "section
blah exceeds stub group size" were being triggered by conditional
branches in head_64.S branching to global symbols, whether in
head_64.S or in other files. This eliminates the warnings by making
some global symbols in head_64.S no longer global, and by rearranging
some branches.

The alignment exception used to only check the exception table for
-EFAULT, not for other errors. That opens an oops window if we can
coerce the kernel into getting an alignment exception for other reasons
in what would normally be a user-protected accessor, which can be done
via some of the futex ops. This fixes it by always checking the
exception tables.

On powerpc, probing on emulate_step function will crash 2.6.18.1 when
it is triggered.
When kprobe is triggered, emulate_step() is on its kernel path and
will cause recursive kprobe fault. And branch_taken() is called
in emulate_step(). This disallows kprobes on both of them.

The 10Gigabit ethernet device drivers appear to be able to chew
up all 256MB of TCE mappings on pSeries systems, as evidenced by
numerous error messages:
iommu_alloc failed, tbl c0000000010d5c48 vaddr c0000000d875eff0 npages 1
Some experimentation indicates that this is essentially because
one 1500 byte ethernet MTU gets mapped as a 64K DMA region when
the large 64K pages are enabled. Thus, it doesn't take much to
exhaust all of the available DMA mappings for a high-speed card.
This patch changes the iommu allocator to work with its own
unique, distinct page size. Although the patch is long, its
actually quite simple: it just #defines a distinct IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE
and then uses this in all the places that matter.
As a side effect, it also dramatically improves network performance
on platforms with H-calls on iommu translation inserts/removes (since
we no longer call it 16 times for a 1500 bytes packet when the iommu HW
is still 4k).
In the future, we might want to make the IOMMU_PAGE_SIZE a variable
in the iommu_table instance, thus allowing support for different HW
page sizes in the iommu itself.

Fixed a compile error in building the 85xx support with oprofile, and in
the process cleaned up some issues with the fsl_booke performance monitor
code.
* Reorganized FSL Book-E performance monitoring code so that the 7450
wouldn't be built if the e500 was, and cleaned it up so it was more
self-contained.
* Added a cpu_setup function for FSL Book-E. The original
cpu_setup function prototype had no arguments, assuming that
the reg_setup function would copy the required information into
variables which represented the registers. This was silly for
e500, since it has 1 register per counter (rather than 3 for
all counters), so the code has been restructured to have
cpu_setup take the current counter config array as an argument,
with op_powerpc_setup() invoking op_powerpc_cpu_setup() through
on_each_cpu(), and op_powerpc_cpu_setup() invoking the
model-specific cpu_setup function with an argument. The
argument is ignored on all other platforms at present.
* Fixed a confusing line where a trinary operator only had two
arguments

This patch fixes a few issues in offb:
- A test was inverted causing the palette hack to never work
(no device node was passed down to the init function)
- Some cards seem to have their assigned-addresses property in a random
order, thus we need to try using of_get_pci_address() first, which will
fail if it's not a PCI device, and fallback to of_get_address() in that
case. of_get_pci_address() properly parsees assigned-addresses to test
the BAR number and thus will get it right whatever the order is.
- Some cards (like GXT4500) provide a linebytes of 0xffffffff in the
device-tree which does no good. This patch handles that by using the
screen width when that happens. (Also fixes btext.c while at it).
- Add detection of the GXT4500 in addition to the GXT2000 for the
palette hacks (we use the same hack, palette is linear in register space
at offset 0x6000).

This causes ipic_set_irq_type to set the handler directly rather
than call set_irq_handler, which causes spinlock recursion because
the lock is already held when ipic_set_irq_type is called.
I'm also not convinced that ipic_set_irq_type should be changing the
handler at all. There seem to be several controllers that don't and
several that do. Those that do would break what appears to be a common
usage of calling set_irq_chip_and_handler followed by set_irq_type, if a
non-standard handler were to be used. OTOH, irq_create_of_mapping()
doesn't set the handler, but only calls set_irq_type().
This patch gets things working in the spinlock-debugging-enabled case,
but I'm curious as to where the handler setting is ideally supposed to be
done. I don't see any documentation on set_irq_type() that clarifies
what the semantics are supposed to be.

Currently, spufs_mbox_read transfers more bytes than requested on a
read. If you ask for four bytes, you get eight. This fixes it to
transfer the largest multiple of four bytes that is less than or equal
to the number you asked for.
Note: one nasty property of this file in spufs is that you can only
read multiples of four bytes in the first place, since there is no way
to atomically put back a few bytes into the hardware register. Thus,
reading less than four bytes returns -EINVAL. Asking for more than
four returns the largest possible multiple of four.

The Cell CPU timebase has an erratum. When reading the entire 64 bits
of the timebase with one mftb instruction, there is a handful of cycles
window during which one might read a value with the low order 32 bits
already reset to 0x00000000 but the high order bits not yet incremeted
by one. This fixes it by reading the timebase again until the low order
32 bits is no longer 0. That might introduce occasional latencies if
hitting mftb just at the wrong time, but no more than 70ns on a cell
blade, and that was considered acceptable.

This patch reworks the feature fixup mecanism so vdso's can be fixed up.
The main issue was that the construct:
.long label (or .llong on 64 bits)
will not work in the case of a shared library like the vdso. It will
generate an empty placeholder in the fixup table along with a reloc,
which is not something we can deal with in the vdso.
The idea here (thanks Alan Modra !) is to instead use something like:
1:
.long label - 1b
That is, the feature fixup tables no longer contain addresses of bits of
code to patch, but offsets of such code from the fixup table entry
itself. That is properly resolved by ld when building the .so's. I've
modified the fixup mecanism generically to use that method for the rest
of the kernel as well.
Another trick is that the 32 bits vDSO included in the 64 bits kernel
need to have a table in the 64 bits format. However, gas does not
support 32 bits code with a statement of the form:
.llong label - 1b (Or even just .llong label)
That is, it cannot emit the right fixup/relocation for the linker to use
to assign a 32 bits address to an .llong field. Thus, in the specific
case of the 32 bits vdso built as part of the 64 bits kernel, we are
using a modified macro that generates:
.long 0xffffffff
.llong label - 1b
Note that is assumes that the value is negative which is enforced by
the .lds (those offsets are always negative as the .text is always
before the fixup table and gas doesn't support emiting the reloc the
other way around).

There are currently two versions of the functions for applying the
feature fixups, one for CPU features and one for firmware features. In
addition, they are both in assembly and with separate implementations
for 32 and 64 bits. identify_cpu() is also implemented in assembly and
separately for 32 and 64 bits.
This patch replaces them with a pair of C functions. The call sites are
slightly moved on ppc64 as well to be called from C instead of from
assembly, though it's a very small change, and thus shouldn't cause any
problem.

In calculating stolen time, we were trying to actually account for time
spent in the hypervisor. We don't really have enough information to do
that accurately, so don't try. Instead, we now calculate stolen time as
time that the current cpu thread is not actually dispatching instructions.
On chips without a PURR, we cannot do this, so stolen time will always
be zero. On chips with a PURR, this is merely the difference between
the elapsed PURR values and the elapsed TB values.
This gives us much more sane vaules from tools such as mpstat, even if
they are still a bit strange e.g. 2 busy threads on one cpu will both
appear to have 50% user time and 50% stolen time while 1 busy thread on
a cpu will look like 100% user on one of them and 100% idle on the other.

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.
The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

On the old "powersurge" SMP powermacs, the second CPU is started up
by sending it an IPI, which has the side effect of stopping the
timebase clock (so the secondary CPU's timebase can be synchronized
with the primary's). The routine that did this used udelay, which
will hang forever when the timebase is stopped, since udelay now spins
until the timebase reaches a certain value.
The end result is that the kernel would hang when bringing up the
second CPU. This fixes it by using a simple loop which just does a
fixed number of iterations to generate the delay. These old systems
were all clocked at around 200 MHz or so, so a fixed number of
iterations is acceptable.
